Scanner Maintenance User Manual
Cleaning
To clean the scan area, use the special cleaning cloth provided with
the SMK. When not in use, cover the scanner with the plastic dust cover.
Note:
Make sure the scanner is powered off before covering it with the plastic
cover. Otherwise, the temperature of the scanner would be too high.
Camera alignment
Camera alignment must be performed to get invisible
transitions between camera range borderlines. The procedure slightly differs
according to your type of scanners:
■
some models have a single fixed camera. Therefore, they do not require
camera alignment. The maintenance wizard will automatically detect the
scanner model and skip the camera alignment step.
■
some models have two cameras, A, B starting from the right side of the
scanner. One is fixed and the other is adjustable.
Calibration
After Camera alignment, the Scanner Maintenance program goes
straight to Basic (black and white point) and Colour Calibration (colour
scanners only) on its own. You don't have to insert extra sheets or find camera
positions on the scanner. The Maintenance program detects the scanner model
and makes all the necessary calculations.
Your scanner's Precision Colour system lets you calibrate on the field at any
time ensuring stable and predictable colour output. The scanner will be
calibrated to both sRGB and NTSC colour spaces using an ANSI IT8
calibration target.
